My class is having a reunion soon. The last time I went was the 25th. My best friend from class shunned me because I had lived with a Cambodian Buddhist Monk who had known M. Ghandi. Also he poo-poed meditation.
I realized I had nothing in common with these people. Its different now because of the mindfulness trend, but - fly 3K miles for nostalgia - don't think so.
Your's sounded fun and the crackle of lightning at the end. Wow.
